My entry into Thailand, though easy and thrilling, came with some huge food difficulties. Being gluten intolerant, I knew that I was going to have to be really mindful of what I ate, and ask questions about what I was eating. Man, did it turn out to be harder than I expected! At one point […]
I’ve been eating out for every meal since we landed in Thailand. It’s the way of things for digital nomads unless you’re renting a place with a kitchen, and this is rare, certainly not the route we are going.

I’ve always been a writer, but when I found the world of blogging, all of my work went digital with the exception of the occasional mixed media art piece I’d create. For Jon and I, this was […]

I was at a Social Media event at the gorgeous retreat center, Lumeria of Maui the other day. Most of the attendees I already knew, and it was a great chance to explore a new part of Maui, and socialize with friends. As is the case with these gatherings, we all tend to connect over […]
